My stay at Maxim Hotel was far from pleasant. Despite the low room rates, the numerous issues with cleanliness and comfort made the experience quite disappointing. The staff's inconsistency in service added to the frustration. It's clear I won't be returning anytime soon, and I suggest looking elsewhere for a more enjoyable stay.

The room I was given had several major issues, including bedbugs, ants, and a strong mold smell. Additionally, the lack of a window made it feel even less inviting. Overall, I would rate the rooms a 2/10 due to the severe cleanliness issues.
Service
5.0
The service was quite erratic; some staff members were friendly while others were rude and unhelpful. I found it frustrating when they demanded payments at odd times and refused to assist with basic needs like calling for a taxi. Therefore, I rate the service a 3/10.

I had a really unfortunate experience at this hotel. While the price seemed reasonable, the cleanliness and overall condition of the rooms were drastically lacking. I encountered multiple issues including bugs and a noisy environment, which made for a very uncomfortable stay. It would be wise to look for alternatives, even if they cost a bit more.
